I am having trouble with a line in a controller:
public function checked(Request $request)
{
$user = DB::table('user2s')->where('name', $request->name)->first();
if (isset($user))
return redirect ('/’,['user'=>$request->name]);
else
return redirect('/');
}
The error is "syntax error, unexpected 'user' (T_STRING)" line 29
.
The code before works because it recognizes when the passed name does not belong to a user in the users' table.
It works if written like: return $user->id;
// or $user->body
, the correct info is displayed.
It doesn't work with redirect (compact('user'))
either.
Thank you.
